Can TBRA grant funds be used to clean up petroleum based contamination?
Costs for remediation of contamination related to above and below ground petroleum storage tanks and other petroleum based contamination are eligible for consideration only after all available Petrofund sources have been utilized. The Petrofund is administered by the Minnesota Department of Commerce. TBRA grant funds may be used to reimburse the “hard” cleanup project costs associated with petroleum-impacted soil and ground water that are required as part of a Development Response Action Plan approved by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Grant funds are paid on a reimbursement basis.
